Minimum standards

Systems must serve Krishna-conscious education and self-sufficiency, preserve essential mood and standards, and support qualified human responsibility rather than replacing it.

Important relationships

Students, teachers, successors, parents, community members, senior devotees and spiritual authorities.

Main capabilities required

System design, curriculum design, documentation, teacher training, evaluation, institutional memory and succession development.

Main recurring responsibilities

Reviewing systems, training people, preserving decisions and lessons, evaluating continuity and transferring responsibility.

Typical projects that may arise

No projects are created here. Future projects may concern curriculum, SOPs, teacher training, evaluation, succession or community systems.

Protection from interference

Institution-building must not become control, bureaucracy or an excuse to neglect spiritual life, students, family, health or direct service.

Delegation and successor

The central measure of success is that qualified successors can operate and improve the institution without my constant presence.

Role conflicts and resolution

May conflict with direct teaching, community participation, family, learning and preaching. Build only what serves genuine needs, use capacity principles and transfer ownership progressively.
